The
video clips (usually less than 15 minutes) on this page are
in general very basic and hopefully psychiatrists will not
learn much from them. They may, however, be useful for
teaching purposes. They may also serve in patients/family
education.

The clips do
not require any specific software. To play them just
click on the video.

want to download the videos to your own computer

The
Neuroscience of Restorative
Justice(14
min31 sec)Dr Daniel
Reisel, University College London, UK
TEDTalk video
Daniel Reisel studies the brains of criminal psychopaths
(and mice). And he asks a big question: Instead of
warehousing these criminals, shouldnt we be using
what we know about the brain to help them rehabilitate?
Put another way: If the brain can grow new neural
pathways after an injury could we help the brain
re-grow morality?

Psychosis:
Psychiatric interview for teaching(12
min 30 sec)University
of Nottingham, UK
In this clip, an on-call psychiatrist is assessing a
young man who has been referred urgently by his GP. The
psychiatrist takes a history in which she elicits
persecutory delusions, third person auditory
hallucinations, running commentary, thought insertion,
and somatic hallucinations. She then makes a risk
assessment, takes a drug history and assesses
risk.

Towards
a new understanding of mental
illness(13
min 03 sec)Thomas
Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental
Health
TEDTalk video
Today, thanks to better early detection, there are 63%
fewer deaths from heart disease than there were just a
few decades ago. Could we do the same for depression and
schizophrenia? The first step in this new avenue of
research is a crucial reframing: for us to stop thinking
about mental disorders and start
understanding them as brain
disorders.

Catatonia is a syndrome of psychological and motor
disturbances. Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum first described it
in 1874. In the DSM-IV it is not recognized as a
separate disorder, but is associated with psychiatric
conditions such as schizophrenia (catatonic type),
bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder,
depression and other mental disorders.

Autism:
The world needs all kinds of
minds(20
min 14 sec)A talk
given by autism activist Temple Grandin at TED Talks
(http://www.ted.com)
She explains how her mind works and her ability to
"think in pictures," which helps her solve problems
that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the
case that the world needs people on the autism
spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal
thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky
kids.
